    one doughnut won't make you fat, just as one salad won't make you thin :tongue:

    Meat is much more satisfying, per calorie, than bread.

    That's absolutely true!! This is your journey, not anybody else's. So why compare yourself to anybody else?


    MIne comes from one of the first conversations I had with a nutritionist:
    She asked: Do you want to lose weight?
    I responded: Well yeah....
    A little voice in my head said: Then act like it.

    "Lifestyle change, NOT a diet"

    I have to keep reminding myself of this!

    With a little planning and picking the right recipes, it's possible to satisfy my foodie side* and still lose weight.

    * Although I still haven't figured out how to enjoy the chef's amazing seven-course tasting menu at my favorite restaurant and eat something other than lettuce for the rest of the week. Since this is a twice-a-year treat at most (not being a millionaire), perhaps I'll just shoot for maintenance that week and catch up later.

    find ways to make the food you enjoy healthier

    Or incorporate them in small quantities so you get the flavor without the caloric whammy. (A big chunk of cheese screws up my macros. A little sprinkled on something doesn't, and still tastes darn good.)

    "one salad won't make you skinny, just like one burger won't make you fat"

    moderation and portion control is key.

    My daughter, who is half my age, replied to one of my emails with this in her response:


    You are not too old, or too far gone to reach a goal.



    I love this.

    I like this. I recently heard something similar to this on a TV program ..." comparing ourselves with others is an act of violence against the self"

    Wow....I love this quote....so true...
